Talking about hate, what is the cause for Nickleback hate?

I don't like them, don't know any of their songs, not sure if I have even heard their music. I just see that it is a common agreement that EVERYONE hates Nickleback. What is the reason though? Bad vocals? Bad instrument play? Bad lyrics?
I'm looking for a little more than 'because they suck'. Why do they suck?
Link me to their worst song

Hard rock band that sold out to bubblegum pop/rock.

So they used to be good before they started playing bubblegum stuff?

No theyve always sucked

The last song they made sounds like the first song they made, and every other song in between.

Their lyrics rhyme like a 6 year old wrote them:
"Rockstar"
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny with her bleach blond hair
"Gotta Be Somebody"
Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that
Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there
Tell me that's not horrible, unoriginal writing. Pitiful.

They do suck but I think the hate is extremely overblown

I don't think I hate Nickelback as much as I would hate hanging out with people who like Nickelback. I know they exist, but I don't know any, thank God.

Ditto. It's the cool thing to do though. Everyone is doing it.

They are popular and make gajillions of dollars for the soul fact that they figured white Americans out. Their music contains a simple, easy to digest, 4/4 time signature, and lyrics that contain zero words that a fourth grader can't define. Then they take four songs and rewrite them ad nauseum, and they brand this as HARD American rock and roll (despite being Canadian). Couple all of this with the FACT that the average American is an idiot (MOST tigerdroppings posters excluded), and you find great success.
Being that they found a way to capatalize HEAVILY off of mediocrity, they are the smartest band since the Beatles.

If rockstar is wrong, I don't want to be right.

I never understood the over the top hate for them. I don't know much of their work, but everything I hear sounds like typically pop rock. There is much worst pop music out there than nickleback, imo.
I guess if people want to classify them as just rock and compare them to ac/dc or metalica, then yeah, they suck. But they are just a pop band, right?
I'd rather listen to nickleback than Gaga or minaj or beiber etc

Bon Jovi 2.0
A band that feels their music is vindicated by the 2 million soccer moms that run out and buy their bullshite.
